What is Freelap Timing?
Freelap is a wireless electronic timing system that provides precise, automatic timing for athletic training. It measures sprint times, reaction times, lap splits, and more — without manual stopwatches. Freelap is used by coaches, clubs, and elite athletes in Canada and around the world.

How does Freelap work?
Freelap uses wearable FXChips and wireless transmitters to detect and record athlete performance. When an athlete passes a timing transmitter, the FXChip captures exact time data and sends it via Bluetooth to the Freelap mobile app for instant feedback.

 

What sports is Freelap used for?
Freelap is designed for track & field, ski racing, football combines, cycling, BMX, speed skating, and other sports that require sprint or lap timing. It adapts to both indoor and outdoor training environments.

What makes Freelap better than a stopwatch or video timing?
Freelap delivers hands-free, highly accurate, and repeatable timing results without human error. Coaches can time multiple athletes, capture splits, and analyze performance live — all in real time on a mobile device.

Is Freelap portable?
Yes! Freelap is fully wireless and highly portable. No cables or fixed infrastructure are needed. You can set it up in seconds at a track, field, ski slope, or training center.

What equipment do I need to get started?
To use Freelap, you’ll need:

  • At least one FXChip BLE (per athlete)

  • One or more transmitters (e.g., TX Junior Pro, TX Track Pro, or TX Gate Pro)

  • A smartphone or tablet with the Freelap app
    Starter packs are available on FreelapCanada.com to suit different sports.

Can Freelap time multiple athletes at once?
Yes. Each FXChip BLE is uniquely paired, allowing you to time multiple athletes training on the same course — simultaneously and accurately.

Is Freelap approved or used by top-level teams?
Yes. Freelap is used by national sport organizations, elite clubs, and pro coaches across Canada and internationally. It’s trusted by programs in athletics, skiing, football, and beyond.

You can purchase Freelap timing systems directly from FreelapCanada.com — the official Canadian distributor since 2008. We offer localized support, fast shipping, and expert product advice.
